02 - When the First White Snows of Winter Fall

Scene Two

IN THE ALASKAN FRONTIER
(JOHN and ANNA are working to repair the old homestead they've purchased.)

ANNA.
The sun is hanging lower now
There's a chill upon the wind
The world begins to quiet down
For what tomorrow brings
A calm
A peace
A rest
For the fox it's time to burrow
For the grouse it's time to nest

When first white snows of winter fall
we'll have our fire-side

JOHN.
When the first white snows of winter fall
me and you, my loving bride

ANNA.
Tucked away among the trees
And the morning mountain air

JOHN.
We'll fix our little homestead
For the life we dreamed we'd share

When the first white snows of winter fall
Our working will be done

ANNA.
When the first white snows of winter fall
We'll live our days as one

BOTH.
If a cage is more than iron bars
A house is more than marble walls
We'll build a home for you and I
Before the snow of winter falls

ANNA.
We don't need much to have it all

BOTH.
Together here
When the first white snows of winter fall
When the first white snows of winter fall
